Introduction to Using Dashboards to Scale and Improve Your Business - Dashboards 101

This is part one of a three course series for managers and executives to learn how to run a business "by the numbers".  This focuses employees on results more than activities and provides a platform for constant improvement in the business via the feedback loop of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). 

Train your entire managemnt team together for a fractions of the cost. This allows for multiple managers to view. 

Dashboards are necessary when a company reaches more than a dozen or so employees. This course will introduce your team to the benefits and concepts that can systematize and grow your company. This is the basic level for everyone involved, and even junior staff should view this training to understand the benefits to all. We have two additional courses available for more senior people that are Intermediate (201) and Advanced (301) to really optimize the use of Dashboards and Metrics, which must evolve with your company.

This is a basic introduction to the use of dashboards for Business Performance Management (PM) and Business Intelligence (BI).  

Dashboards are used to: "Run a Business by the Numbers, Improve it Constantly and Project What Will Happen more accurately to be Ahead of the Competition!" The Japanese call this Kaizen, but it was actually created by the American consultant W. Edwards Deming. He created the Total Quality Management (TQM) system.

Dashboards are an advanced tool of management to move a person, company and department to Management By Exception (MBE). This is a more sophisticated and leveraged form of management.

Dashboards are an autopilot, as well as a way to look into the future by seeing trends and connections in cause and effect. Dashboards allow you to get your business down to a science with known inputs and outputs of key processes that create value. And then manage these processes and people more smoothly, predictably and with constant improvement via a feedback loop. 

Dashboards separate the professional managers from the amateurs. They give managers leverage in time and also empower employees to communicate goals, and what success is every day, week or month.

Every business with more than a handful of employees needs at least one dashboard for the company. Every department with more than five or six employees should also have a department level dashboard of its own. Dashboards frame success, managing up and down and clear accountability and communications. This course tells you how and why they work magic to improve a company, team and department. One of the highest ROIs of any project you can implement to improve performance, morale and corporate value. 

This course will support any CEO, manager, C-Level executive or entrepreneur in their work to grow a company.  We have two additional courses that are intermediate and advanced, for senior managers, to really optimize the use of Dashboards and Metrics (KPIs) which must evolve with your company.
